FOR PARENTS / CARERS
Welcome to the parent and carers information page of the South East Thames Paediatric Epilepsy Group (SETPEG). By following the links below we hope you will be able to find information about a wide range of topics related to the different types of epilepsy, including care, first aid, treatments and education.
You are welcome to browse the other pages within this site but most of the other information is designed for neurologists, paediatricians, specialist nurses and other professionals working with children and young people with epilepsy.
Please note; It is with regret that SETPEG cannot offer advice to individual queries about a child’s treatment or management. We recommend you contact your child’s epilepsy team or GP in the first instance. If you need more immediate advice contact NHS direct www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk or by dialling 111 or 0845 4647 from some areas.
